Sub-genreSub-genres are identifiable sub-classes within a larger film genre with their own style, formulas and iconography. For example, a sub-genre of Action may be spy or martial arts films.
Most genres of films have sub-genres within them. Sub-genres, like conventions, make up what we expect to see from a film within that genre. Such as, a sub-genre of Action being a race against time.
Sub-gnres change throughout time, just as society changes. Events that happen within the world effect sub-genres and what an audience want to see within a film. For example, in the great depression, a popular film genre was science fiction. This is because many people sued to cinema as a place to go to escape reality and watching a film that was set in a completely different world, allowed the audiences to forget about all the issues that they had within their lives.
Hybrid Genres
Hybrid Genres are when two or more genres are put together and to conventions are mixed. Such as, Rom-Com's or Action Adventure films.
